SECRET: After developing a new type of bomb, we plan to detonate a test shot at an undisclosed location. The said bomb is an ion-charged white phosporus incendary flash bomb, which releases a flashing light and the chemical reaction of the phosporus ions superheats a 50 kilometer radius to 100,000 degrees centigrade in a flash, burning everything within the radius. One advantage of the phosporus ion bomb over conventional nuclear weapons is that it isn't radioactive, but has similar thermal effects. The superheated air produces a sound wave similar to thunder, only that it is more deafening, and can break tempered glass.

OCTOBER: The Tsesarevich has disappeared! The ten-year-old heir was reportedly last seen walking home from school. Neubayern-Novodonetsk has been thrown into nation-wide chaos as a frantic search for the boy begins.

Neubayern-Novodonetsk

Security: National security becomes an increasingly major concern, especially now after the suspected kidnapping of the Tsesarevich. The Tsar and Tsaritsa are in deep distress, and call out to all nations to keep a lookout for their son.

NOVEMBER: After a long, heart-wrenching month of searching, it is revealed what happened to the young Tsesarevich, as an organisation known as Narodnaya Volya (People's Will), has published an ultimatum addressed to the Tsar. It reads as follows:

Tsar Demetrius,We are the Narodnaya Volya, and we claim full responsibility for the capture of your son. We require the fulfilment of all the following demands by the middle of next year (1st June 1059).

Firstly, we demand the secession of Novodonetsk from the Federated States of Neubayern-Novodonetsk and the subsequent dissolution of the same;

Secondly, we demand abdication in the name of yourself and all your descendants, and a declaration of eternal relinquishment of all rights to the Donetskian throne;

Thirdly, we demand that you name our most glorious Supreme Leader, Vladimir Vladimirovich Ulnin, as your successor.

Fourthly, we demand your return to Neubayern with your family, and your word that you shall not return to Novodonetsk with the intent of usurping the throne which rightfully belongs to an individual of pure Donetskian descent.

Fulfil all these requests, and the Tsesarevich will be spared and returned to you unharmed. Prior to the due date (1st June 1059), Tsesarevich Alexander will not be hurt, but will remain in the custody of Narodnaya Volya. Failure to comply with any of these demands shall result in the execution of your son in the glorious name of the Donetskian people and of their will. Any aggressive action taken against Narodnaya Volya, its agents, or its associates will also result in the Tsesarevich's death. Any action to recapture the Tsesarevich by force will also result in his immediate execution.

Choose your actions wisely.

Narodnaya Volya

The People's Will

Neubayero-Donetskian dip: We plead to all nations to help us in this dark hour...

North Orientalia Secret Dip: We like to give aid by sending best experts in the SSA's ranks who specialize in negotiating hostages. And also some fighter planes to Rotinsel and perform aerial acrobatics as a show of force.

San Juan Dip: Our President heard of your crisis. In a sign of good will (and since he has nothing to win in this other than helping peace), President Duran Rico propose himself as mediator should you choose to negotiate.

Britannian Secret Dip: The Eos Satellite begins searching for Narodnaya Volya using its ability to detect infra-red rays, previously used to study the atmosphere and ozone layer of Novasol III-B. A third of the Nuberu air planes are loaned to Neubayern-Novodonetsk.

San Juan: The universal exposition is in almost 2 years now, and President Duran Rico want his country ready to be seen by the entire world. The enitr eressources of the country are used to rebuild it. Every one who doesn't have a job is forced to work on the infrastructure at minimum wages. San Juan will be rebuild more beautiful then ever for 1060!

Washington Bay: We expand our military and economy. Meanwhile, we heard the crisis in Neubayern-Donetsk territory, with their concerns about kidnappers with the frantic search of the boy. President Brian Lopperfield, says that the crisis of Neubayern-Dontesk of kidnappers with frantic search of the boy is really tragic. Indeed with his messages, he is willing to help Neubayern-Donetsk's to search the boy by sending most of the Washington Bay searchers.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Park Myon continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia.

Kyoko Awashima from the Liberal Democratic Party wins, and becomes the new Supreme Chancellor. Some aid is sent to Neubayern-Novodonetsk to help them out with the search.

Diplomacy: The Tsar has begun negotiations with Narodnaya Volya in an attempt to stall the organisation while covert units begin gradually moving into position to free the Tsesarevich.

North Orientalia: In cooperation with Neubayern, we begin to covertly move some naval and air units, such as the aircraft carriers OPNS Huiyuan and OPNS Franz Jaeger to striking distance, the former at extreme northern Neubayern, the latter in Washington Bay. Meanwhile a plan to ransom the Tsesarevich is proposed. The amount for ransom was planned to be at around 1,250,000 yan (2.5 million krone). Meanwhile our nuclear alert level clock is raised to 10:30 PM (12 midnight means all out strike; 9:00 PM means deactivation of weapons)

NV: The Narodnaya Volya warn Orientalia not to get involved with Donetskian affairs. Any further action will result in your annihilation.

North Orientalia: Our basis of involvement is the security of Orientalian nationals living there, and interests and business assets of ours there, and the upsetting of the status quo can have a global ripple to each country's national security, as your actions can embolden extremist movements elsewhere. As for the threat issued of our total annihilation, a new weapon has been devloped recently by ours.

Meanwhile, several commando units are currently hunting for the hideout of what has been declared a terrorist organisation in Neubayern-Novodonetsk with Orientalian, Britannian and Washingtonian assistance, utilising satellite technology. Security is tightened and all members of the Royal Family are placed under indefinite house arrest for their safety. Prince August and Princess Aurora are both sent home from university in Freiburg.

Diplomacy to North Orientalia: Our government believes that we will mutually prosper from a research agreement. We have recently heard of the possible applications of ion technology in weapons. We would like to use this opportunity to find new designs for weapons safer than the radioactive nuclear missiles currently dominating our arsenal, as well as to discover peaceful applications of ion technology.

North Orientalia Dip: As the weapon is a new technological development, we are afraid that the knowledge can fall to the wrong hands, due to the Novodonetsk crisis. The Jeongwang (Lightning) Project is the program behind the phosporus ion bomb. The formula for the phosporus ions are a highly guarded secret for security reasons but the exploration of a similar process for halite elements like iodine and sodium is open, as a potential source of clean energy.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia.

Secret politics: Despite protests, Tsar Nicholas I has announced to the cabinet (with himself and his sister, the Kaiserin, presiding) that if the worst comes to worst his abdication documents have been prepared, ready to be signed.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko continues creating the next Project Magician Temple game. Seocho continues to create their own game, and is soon revealed to be a racing type game.

ALERT: A possible sighting of the Prince Alexander has been reported on 13 March in Democratic Alba! A citizen reported a brown-haired boy with a hoodie around the same height as Alexander was in a car driving through St Abadsstad. All units looking for the Tsesarevich are put on high alert and some covert ones are sent to Alba to confirm the sighting.

Neubayern-Novodonetsk

Military: After months of planning, positioning and observation, the Kriegstag, with the consent of the Tsar, authorises a strike upon what is suspected to be the hideout of Narodnaya Volya, located in Jalb'bul in Holy Alba.

RNG: 5. (6 - 10 success) The hideout, while indeed occupied by Narodnaya Volya, does not house Tsesarevich Alexander. A prisoner taken during the attack confessed that the young Prince had escaped, and was now on the run, with troops from Narodnaya Volya hunting him. The Tsar immediately orders all military operatives participating in the search and subsequent attack to regroup and begin looking for Alexander. The Neubayero-Donetskian government also asks international participants to resume intensive searching for the Tsesarevich.

North Orientalia: Meanwhile in other news, we begin further tweaks and new features to our local social CocoNet (North Orientalia's version of Weibo) . As our e-mail system, OrientaLink (this world's AOL) is badly outdated, we begin to develop a better one, in collaboration with Orientalian Electronics. As we begin to open up, more people have slipped out from the prying eyes of the secret police gazing on data sent via OrientaLink. Construction of the 110-floor skyscraper continues. Proposals were made that the skyscraper and surrounding area, once complete, will be made a Wi-Fi zone.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko continues creating the next Project Magician Temple game. Seocho continues to create their own game.

May

Neubayern-Novodonetsk

Search for Alexander: A possible sighting of a disguised Prince Alexander was reported to the Neubayero-Donetskian Embassy in Port Jalstad, on the southern Democratic Alban coast. It is suspected that the Prince purchased a ticket with stolen funds for a ferry service bound for Novodonetsk using the fake identity papers created for him by the Narodnaya Volya. All ships incoming to ports in Novodonetsk are ordered to allow Kriegswehr troops to search them for the missing Prince.

RNG: 8 (6 - 10 success). On 19th May, the MV Alliance pulled into port in Velikgrad in Novodonetsk. After searching, the Prince is finally found sitting amongst a group of Alban tourists. Following a check of his identity papers, it is confirmed that Tsesarevich Alexander was found aboard the vessel. The young Prince at long last rejoins his family in an emotional reunion, with the Royal Family personally travelling to Velikgrad to meet him. Under heavy guard, the Royal Family returns to Putingrad, and the Tsar destroys his abdication documents, ordering a continuation of intense operations against Narodnaya Volya and similar organisations, such as the Fatherland Front.

Britannia

Terrorism: The Ulster Republican Army (URA) use car bombs and civilian gunmen in Pendragon to attack Auberon Station (37 dead), Pelias Tower (which collapses [284 dead]), Fort Caelia (76 soldiers dead, 16 civilians), and to take 450 people hostage in the Lady of the Lake Theatre. After a long standoff of 4 days and 103 civilian deaths (98 from the initial takeover and 5 from televised executions), the URA is given the $10 million and the three getaway helicopters it demanded. As the helicopters containing fifteen URA militants and ten hostages take off, a civilian fires upon them, killing three URA members, two hostages, and wounding another URA member. The civilian and URA militant are both taken into custody by Military Intelligence (MI). A video posted over VidCentral shows URA leader Arthur Wells declaring the independence of Jersey, the Isle of Mann, and other Britannian islands in the Bay of Sebastiana. In Newderry (in South Britannia), the Scottish Royal Defence (SRD) forms to defend Britannia from the URA, led by Gregory Boyle and Sinn Fein. PM Lucas Chamberlain denounces the URA and SRD as terrorist organizations. This begins the Britannian Trials.

Investigations: The video the Fatherland Front posted in 1056 is discovered to have been posted from the small town of New Inverness in the South Britannian fields. A paramilitary operation captures the house and kills five Fatherland Front militants, while arresting four. Two are found to be Britannian; the other are a Neubayer and a Donetskian. The foreigners are extradited to Neubayern-Novodonetsk. One Britannian soldier is killed in the operation. The operation reveals Fatherland Front hideouts in Pendragon and the city of New Edinburgh, which are raided (the hideout in Pendragon is found empty and stripped of all evidence). More hideouts are suspected.

Public News: The Royal Family and PM Lucas Chamberlain congratulate the Royal Family of Neubayern-Novodonetsk on finding and returning Tsesarevich Alexander to his home. They praise the ingenuity of the Prince in escaping Narodnaya Volya and making his way back to his country. Princess Jane searches for an international school to achieve her Ph.D. in Astrophysics. The public calls for action against the international terrorist cells Narodnaya Volya and the Fatherland Front, along with the domestic Ulster Socialist Army and Scottish Royal Defense.

Technology: The SMA begins to take radioactive pictures of the galaxy. The Eos Satellite is returned to its normal settings and continues to investigate the atmosphere and magnetosphere of Novasol III-B. Meanwhile, a probe is launched from Pendragon Base by BAST to research the gas giant Novasol III.

Infrastructure: The Zarinthian Canal is projected to be finished in two and a half years.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways continues. Takahashi Mayuko continues creating the next Project Magician Temple game. Seocho continues to create their own game.

Military: A tribunal has been established to court-martial the five guards who kidnapped the Tsesarevich a year earlier after capturing the guilty soldiers, who have been on the run since Prince Alexander's escape. In other news, security remains a top national priority in order to prevent incidents such as what happened in the past year.

Royal News: At the ripe old age of 112, Prince August of Neubayern is unfortunately becoming weaker. The former Kaiser is now confined to a wheelchair, and it is unknown how long he has left. However, the Prince himself has publicly stated that he is not afraid of his own death, believing that he has 'lived long enough' and 'hopes to join his family' soon, referring to his late younger siblings, wife, and two elder children, Crown Prince Georg and Helena.

North Orientalia: Construction of the the 110 - floor skyscraper continues. BREAKING NEWS: A wave of bomb explosions targeting our consulates in Pendragon, Putingrad, and Ariena. The blame for the Pendragon bombing was placed on the Ulster Republican Army, the one in Putingrad on the Narodnaya Volya, and that on the Ariena consulate in Mabuda on the Alban religious extremist group Shtrengatë. This has prompted us to join the war against terrorism.

Neubayero-Donetskian Dip: This string of attacks has led us to believe that the three organisations may be connected, with the possibility of the Fatherland Front also being part of this terrorist ring.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Kyoko Awashima continues on with plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia.
